Re: Expectations management – politicalbetting.com
Odd story. I haven't heard of anyone bitten by a mouse before. But if Covid did get into the human population, how might it have escaped from the Wuhan lab? One possible answer lies in Taiwan, where a scientist working on Covid experiments at the Academia Sinica in Taipei has tested positive for the Delta variant of the… -
Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » ComRes online: LAB still 11% behind and 73% say party divid
The main reason there has been a drop in the number of fires is because of the number of people who has stopped smocking, or at least, cut down/smock in the garden. as well as an increase in the reliabliaty of electricle and gas appliances. this combined with the increase in the number of houses with fire/smock detecters… -

Re: Could this be a gamechanger? – politicalbetting.com
That gets issues around being wasteful if you do not have continuity of vision in the organisation behind the initiative, or if Central Govt castrates the Councils for political reasons as has I think happened in both England and Scotland in 2010-2020. When I did a housing estate opening a new area of land behind a… -
Re: MAYBE BABY: POPULATION POLITICS PART 1 – politicalbetting.com
Increasingly not. This has been the problem with so much of the excess house-building of the last 10 years: building the wrong houses in the wrong places. Towns do not need more Twatty Meadows a development of executive 3 and 4 bedroom homes where the wildflower meadow used to be. They need more starter homes for people… -
Re: Sunak will be the first PM since Brown with the power to choose the election – politicalbetting.com
Off topic. The honest answer to “what was the cause of the Civil War?” is far more nuanced than saying in not many words, slavery. PB has done nothing yet to convince me otherwise. In fact the other way around, I suggest you all see it through the experience of Brexit to understand what the fight was about. If the dividing… -
Re: Not a good Daily Mail front page tomorrow for the PM – politicalbetting.com
Name another Country where a scandal would be made out of the fact that the taxpayer owned residence of the Country's PM has a substantial improvement to it at zero cost to the taxpayer. Everywhere else this would be seen as a good thing. Its like a Housing Association complaining that one of its tenants paid for a new… -
Re: The great disappointment – politicalbetting.com
Not really. With a broad brush, Labour has done pretty much what the Tories would have done, had they been re-elected, with the difference being a little more focus and a somewhat more realistic approach to key problems such as immigration, prisons, NHS waiting lists and housing, the payoff from which remains to be seen.… -

The minority of the votes is - as has been stated by various people - irrelevant The case is simple: 1. the major parties nominate candidates for the Presidency (I’m ignoring the theoretical possibility of an independent winning for simplicity) 2. Voters indicate a preference for the presidential candidates of one or other… -
Re: How the papers are covering Sunak’s dangerous Monday – politicalbetting.com
Our local primary classes have been shrinking too. Unfortunately not by enough to allow them to reduce staff headcount, so the cost per pupil has gone up by more than their funding. We’ve lost a lot of white (and black) working class, a lot of that being due to housing costs - and the housing benefit cap. They’ve all left… -
Re: A LAB majority back as general election favourite – politicalbetting.com
You what? Lauren Boebert has taken aim at Nancy Pelosi and called for the House Speaker’s ousting while her own future in politics continues to hang in the balance. “Waiting this long for election results is going to make firing Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House that much sweeter,” she wroteon Twitter on Monday.… -
Re: LAB moves to biggest R&W lead since Sunak became PM – politicalbetting.com
I am shocked and disgusted by the attack on in house compliance teams. One of GB News’s leading presenters has quit after the channel tried to make him personally responsible for paying fines issued by the media regulator Ofcom. Mark Steyn, who presented the station’s 8pm peak-time slot, is already subject to two… -
Re: With four days to go the Republicans edge back into the lead – politicalbetting.com
Biden has been a better President than I expected to be honest. But then, I didn't expect much. He has had a surprising number of legislative successes despite a tiny majority in the House with a party which contains more than its fair share of prima donnas and snowflakes who are unwilling to vote for the ok, even if that… -
Re: Is Dorries having second thoughts? – politicalbetting.com
The entire Johnson honours list should have been delayed further. He is about to be eviscerated by the standards committee. Tory apart by Brexiteer Tories for lying to the house over and over and over again. So his list should have remained parked. Then after the committee report goes to the Commons, then look at the list.… -
Re: Opinion polls and local elections – politicalbetting.com
Depends how they play it. Our has a fibre cabinet literally on the garden wall. We are of course connected to an alternative cabinet half a kilometre away with the speed hit that entails - next door's old duffer could get 20Mbps faster as he is connected to the closest cabinet. As for FTTP my office (same building as my… -

Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » The voting polling’s bad for LAB but Corbyn’s ratings are even
I go and knock on doors for those we have no canvass returns on. Once you discount the houses that are holiday lets that won't have anybody in them until Christmas now, you start getting down to the voters. There are some big fully occupied houses. They are (perhaps surprisingly) often Labour. Many of the rest are poor or… -

Collapsing prices would be a disaster in many ways, not least in terms of the number of houses being built. Help To Buy has been a great success, giving just enough confidence for the housebuilding firms to really get moving again, without stoking up house price inflation. -
Re: Trump number 2 specials – politicalbetting.com
It's obvious spin. Of course countries like Japan and S Korea (which has an election in under 2 months' time) are going to talk to the US. Begging summer less likely. Note it's only last week that Trump was demanding more money from S Korea in return for stationing US troops there - while at the same time his…
